Another fateful morning for the girl shrouded with darkness - well, at least that's what she thought. Her room in the hospital was completely filled with the annoying and mind-jerking brightness of the sun, which was obviously caused by the curtains that were opened by none other than her beloved mother. Boy, she really hated the lights, and she hated the one who invented it.
"Didn't he even thought about those who hated too much light???" Sunako said, referring to Edison. Yes the Thomas Edison who invented the light bulb.
Before she could completely assault him in her thoughts, her usual and only visitors which were of course, her parents, and her so called psychiatrist, Kyohei Takano, arrived.
"Feeling any better?" Sunako's dad asked,
She didn't reply but just nodded.
"Can I go home now?" she asked, still bothered by the plastic tubes in her wrist,
"God, how much I hate these things," she shrugged, making Kyohei giggle,
"What's funny?" Sunako asked, only making Kyohei laugh more,
"That's what you get, for scratching your wrist idiot," he replied,
"Don't worry, I'll make it bigger next time okay?" she replied giving him an evil-like grin which made his dad's eyebrows raise,
"There won't be any next time," her dad said to her,
"He's going to live next door now," he added, facing Kyohei which made him smile, but made Sunako furious,
"What??? So now he's not only my so called psychiatrist, but also my fiance now?! What the hell is wrong with this world!" Sunako exclaimed,
"Hey hey! No one said I'm marrying you anyway!" Kyohei grumbled, making Mr. and Mrs. Nakahara cover their mouths and laugh,
The two continued arguing, while Sunako's parents just watched them and whispered to each other,
"They look good together huh?" Mrs. Nakahara said to her husband,
"A bit, but hey! Don't think about those things now, our daughter is just barely fifteen. I'm not even into those things like my friends," Mr. Nakahara replied which made his wife relieved,
"Good to hear that hun... Sunako and I are really lucky to have you," she said, resting her head in his shoulders,
"Yeah, but our daughter needs to grow up more, and I hope Kyohei could help us with it..." he said as the both of them continued to watch Kyohei and Sunako fight.
Two hours passed, still with the two arguing about stupid things, Mr. and Mrs. Nakahara talked with the doctor, and gladly, he said Sunako could go home now. They packed her things and the group went home.
It's been two days since they left the hospital. It was one heck of an accident which almost made Sunako's mom die in frustration and fright.
Things returned back to normal, well, Sunako considered it 'normal'. Yet another bright and sunny day at the Nakahara residence, but darkness fell upon the 'emo' girl's room. Like the usual, her mom went to check up on her, and this time, she made sure that she has a key of her own to her daughter's room.
"Sunako dear, it's time to wake up now!" Sunako's really energetic mother said,
"Ugh! Later mom, and can you please close the curtains? You know how much I hate light entering my room!" Sunako shouted at her mom while covering herself with the bed sheets,
"Oww… Don't be such a baby! You're gonna be late for school, better eat breakfast now," her mother said with utmost care,
"Whatever mom, just go away now okay?" Sunako said rudely,
"Alright alright already! Just make sure you finish eating your breakfast okay? Yesterday you left a lot of food on your plate and it's such a waste!"
"Mom!!" Sunako repeated,
"Okay okay! I'm leaving, better hurry dear!" her mom said even with her daughter's rude reply,
She stood up, and went towards the windows, she peeped through a crack in the curtains a little and looked at the sky, which was so blue and clear, while gazing up at the beautiful sky, a crumpled paper which contained a small rock so it wouldn't fly off somewhere, came flying to her window, and it startled the hell out of her. She scrolled her eyes downwards to see who threw the paper, and what a damn surprise, it was Kyohei Takano again!
"What the hell does he want now? It's just early in the morning! Damn it! I forgot we're damned neighbors now! Ughh!" Sunako shouted, feeling pissed already even if it was just early in the morning,
"Yohoo! Sunako-chan!!" a voice shouted from beneath her house,
"Sunako! Someone's calling you!" her mom shouted from the next room,
"Ughh!" Sunako complained, now she's really pissed at him,
She marched downstairs, she didn't bother to take a bath, and just brushed her hair, put on her uniform and got her bag. He was going to pay, big time. She's really pissed off now. She just picked up her bento and got up to the door. As she opened it, Kyohei suddenly popped out of no where, with a promising proximity. Sunako blushed slightly and turned away.
"Ughh!! Could you please stop doing that? You're such a nasty greeting in the morning!" Sunako smirked at him,
"Why the harsh words? We should start this day with a wonderful smile! You know it's bad luck if you leave your house with a frown, my mom always said that to me, and you know what, it's actually true!" Kyohei said with such a delightful expression,
"Well you know what? I usually start my mornings with a big fat frown on my lips, and guess what? I'm used to having bad lucks!"
"Oww... Don't be so pessimistic Sunako-chan, now come along, we're gonna be late for school!" Kyohei said as he grabbed Sunako's hand and pulled her.
Now she was really angry, she was ready to beat the hell out of him before they reach school, but something caught her eye, someone really familiar. The guy was looking right at her, she felt the hair at the back of her neck stand, but she ignored it and continued walking.
"Something wrong Sunako?" Kyohei asked,
"Nothing, it's just that... Someone was following us a while ago..." Sunako explained which made Kyohei really worried,
"Huh? Let me look around," he replied as he turned around and scanned the whole place
"No! Don't bother, anyway, I'm sure he's gone now, let's just go..." Sunako said softly, but her eyes contained fear,
"I wonder what's wrong with her... She seemed... scared. I've never heard her voice that soft but scared before..." Kyohei thought to himself. He stood there for a while until Sunako shouted at him,
"Hey, could you let go of me now?" Sunako said,
"Wha-what? Oh! Right, right!... I forgot..." he replied scratching his head,
"Spacing out huh? Well, that's what you get for visiting the 'murderer' so early in the morning," Sunako said, back to her usual self,
"Really? Never realized that, okay then, you're free now Sunako-chan!" Kyohei playfully said to her,
"Ughh! You're such a pain in the butt, you know that Takano? And the worst luck that I ever received is being classmates with you!" Sunako said as she left him and walked to a different direction.
Kyohei didn't mind following her, instead he went to their classroom because he noticed a few of his fan girls following him again.
"Not fangirls again, God I'm so tired of them!" he shouted pulling his arms to his head.
Sunako went to the cafeteria, she forgot breakfast again, and she didn't eat dinner last night. She couldn't deny that she was really hungry. She bought a few snacks and sat at a table. She was about to have the first bite, when she felt someone was looking at her. An unknown guy, not so far from her table, was staring at her. She couldn't see his face clearly. He was wearing a cap. She studied his look, even though she couldn't make up his face, he seemed really familiar to her, it's like she saw him a lot of times already. She just shrugged it off and continued to indulge in her food. She looked at her watch and noticed she was already ten minutes late, good thing she was finished eating, with that, she left the canteen. She looked back at the place where the guy was sitting, and found he was still there! He looked like a statue, because he didn't move an inch since she saw him there.
She walked towards the building, and heard those frightening footsteps. It was that guy again!
"Why the heck is he following me?" Sunako said to herself,
She fastened her pace, her face already sweating, until she finally reached her classroom.
"Ms. Nakahara! Where have you been? You're ten minutes late! Now, go out and squat!" Mr. Takayumi shouted at Sunako. He was quite a strict teacher and always punished students who arrived late in his class.
A few minutes later, Mr. Takayumi's class ended, and Kyohei went out, only to see Sunako still in her squatting position.
"Hey, you can get up now you know, the guy's out already," Kyohei said to her,
"I know, I'm not blind," Sunako bluffed,
"If you're not, then why are you still squatting?"
"None of your business," she replied as she stood up.
Kyohei didn't mind replying, instead she just helped her stand up, it seemed like her legs were hurting because of her position earlier, but she just ingnored his help and pushed away his hand. She decided to go to the bathroom. On her way, she walked past the strange guy again, this time, he pulled her arm and held her waist.
"Wha-what the helll are you doing?!" Sunako exclaimed,
"Don't you remember me?" the guy grinned,
Now she remembered him! That was why he looked so damn familiar earlier
"No... n-no way..." she said as she covered her mouth,
Sunako couldn't believe who she just saw. It was Takenaga Oda, her best friend's ex-boyfriend.
"I thought you already left!" Sunako shouted in disbelief,
"Yes I did... And I heard about the accident, so I decided to come back..." he explained,
"Wh-why?? Because of you she killed herself!" Sunako shouted at him which almost caused a commotion,
"Me? Were you sure it was me?" Takenaga asked,
"What? I don't understand! You liar! You even got me as an excuse for wanting to break up with her? You're such a low-life jerk!" Sunako said, almost in tears,
"What? What the hell are you saying? I don't know what you're talking about!" Takenaga shouted,
"Damn it, stop making lies Oda!"
"I'm not lying! I came back here to pay my respects. I loved her Sunako to the point that I even forgot myself! Even if it was really difficult to break up with her, I had to! I'm suffocated by her! And she gets easily jealous just because of those annoying fangirls who were always following me around. But, I loved her... I really did..." Takenaga explained, making Sunako realize how heartfelt those words sounded,
"I can feel that he really meant it... Those words, they seemed so real, but..."
"Then why did she say that you liked me so you broke up with her?" she asked,
"What? I never said that, I just said straight to her that things aren't working out the way they should be anymore," Takenaga said,
Sunako looked at him, he wasn't avoiding her eyes or anything, he just looked straight at her,
"Damn, he isn't lying... I can feel it... Then why did she say those things?"
"Don't you still believe me?" Takenaga asked once more,
"Uhm... I... I do... But... I'm still bothered by why did she said all those things..."
"I don't know Sunako... I really don't know... But, I heard she dated another guy even if we were still together..." Takenaga said as he lowered his head and stared at the ground,
"What?" Sunako replied, still having doubts of whether she'll believe in what he was saying or not,
"Yeah, but I forgot his name," he replied touching his forehead as he tried to recall the guy's last name
"Oh..."
"Oh wait, I think I remember it now," he said making Sunako lift her head,
"What?"
"Takano," he replied,
"Takano?" she repeated, surprised,
"Yeah..."
"Anyway, why are you here?"
"I already said I wanna pay my last respects..."
"No, what I mean is why are you here in school?"
"Oh, I wanted to... Transfer... Back here," Takenaga explained,
"I see, well, I'll just see you later then..." Sunako said, as she left him, and went back to her classroom.
"Why did he even bothered to come back..." she said in her mind as she walked back.
